Dear all,
I read with some interest the arguments about who is the creator/founder of
the World Goa Day idea.
I do not know if it is possible to associate a name (founder/creator) to the
idea.
Certainly anyone will recognise that Rene has been extremely active in

There is a pall of gloom hanging over Goa. One of our sons has lost his life
and four others have thrown away their futures. These are not merely the
